Security & Privacy
The award will help fund research and support the work of a graduate student.
Gu received the 2022 early-career VMware Systems Research Award for developing fundamental system verification theory and synthesizing the results into realistic, bug-free, and hacker-resistant systems software.
Associate Professor Simha Sethumadhavan, Mohamed Tarek, and Miguel Arroyo design new techniques to bolster memory safety; ideas are now being used by Air Force Research Lab.
